How Number Pool works

Number Pool will automatically select the outbound number for a message from a pool of numbers assigned to one of your messaging profiles. It maintains a balance across all of these numbers to ensure higher deliverability with all carriers.

How do I get started?

Follow these quick steps to turn on Number Pool and increase your deliverability today.

1. Assign your desired numbers to the messaging profile you’d like to turn on Number Pooling for.
2. Navigate to the Messaging section of your Portal and click on the edit icon for your chosen Messaging Profile.
3. Click on Number Pool to enable the feature.

When enabling Number Pool, here are some additional features to note:

• Skip unhealthy numbers: When enabled, all unhealthy numbers will be automatically removed from the pool to prevent them from being chosen when sending outbound messages.
• Sticky Sender: When enabled the Number Pool will remember which originating number was last used to send a message to the given destination number and will try to use the same originating number for all future communications with this destination.
• Geomatch: When enabled, messages are automatically sent from a number with the same local area code as the recipient, if available in the Number Pool.
